Two coordinate axes P 1 and P 2 orthogonal to each other are defined within the surface of the specimen, and the coordinate axis P 3 is set to become perpendicular to the specimen surface.
  • the specimen coordinate system P is visible to the observer, and becomes a standard coordinate system to the observer. The stress applied to the specimen is determined with this specimen coordinate system.
  • the crystal coordinate system X is a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system representing crystal axes of a crystal grain to which the crystal plane contributing to the diffraction belongs, the crystal grain being present in the vicinity of the specimen surface.
  • a fiber texture polycrystal is contemplated as the specimen and, therefore, a specific crystal axis (in this case, the coordinate axis X 3 ) of every crystal grain contained in the specimen is perpendicular to the specimen surface.
